SEX AND GORE ON TV

Okay, there wasn’t much sex, but did anyone see Al Gore on “Saturday Night Live?” My God, did the writers and Gore rise to the occasion. His hilarious Trent Lott impersonation was beautifully balanced by the Democratic rep who cheerfully agreed with everything the GOP did while trying to act as if the Democrats were coming up with new ideas. The stuff with Tipper, Weekend Update, everything worked beautifully. And the “West Wing” sequence was an odd combination of funny and wistfully depressing.

I’m not surprised he’s passing on the 2004 nomination. If he couldn’t beat Bush even when he *did* beat Bush, what’s the point of trying it again. Hey! Maybe Lieberman will run for President and Gore will be *his* VP.
